T '0 all whom it my concern:

Be it knownthat I, FRANK M. Moan-1n, a citizen of the United States, residing at Columbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, have invented,a certain new and useful Improvement in Door-Stops, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide an improved door stop especially adapted for the doors of vehicles as, for example, automobiles and the like. So far as I am informed such stops have usually been of leather or some other flexible material which, among other objectionable incidents, project unduly into the vehicle, are unsight y and soon wear out.

The present invention consists in the improved simplified construction hereinafter described and claimed, the invention not being confined to the particular instance of it illustrated in the'accompanying drawing.

In said drawingFigure 1 is a horizontal sectional view with the door closed. Fig. 2 is a similar view with the door open. Fig. 3 is a view looking at the-inner side with the stop and housing for the stop slide in section.

In the views 4 designates the body of the vehicle and 5 the door fractions only of which are shown. The door shown is that of an automobile and ,the lower hinge thereof comprises leaves 6 and 7 bent so that when thehinge is attached to the door and body its pintle at 8 is set back from the edge of the door pillar and so that when the door is opened it, stands at a proximatel right angles to the side of the body with t e edge of the pillar and the frame of the door lying in substantially the same plane. The pintle 8 of this hinge is for convenience in assembling made removable.
